This Sunday not only changes the schedule. TV channels also move frequency, so that all users must retune their TVs to continue watching the full program of digital terrestrial television (DTT). The major brands are issuing these days warning of this process and both media companies and the Ministry of Industry are receiving numerous inquiries from concerned users change ads.
But should not panic . No viewer will suffer an outage of your favorite shows on Sunday. And although the process begins on October 26, users have until December 31 to adapt to the new situation. Until then most of the channels can be viewed simultaneously in the new and the old frequency. Moreover, in many cases (people living in multiple occupancy buildings), retuning only be effective if the residents previously hired a antenista to prepare collective property antennas for receiving the new channels.
This is a practical guide to changing channels with common issues ls
When the channels move to new frequencies?
Between 0200 and 0600 hours on Sunday, October 26, the digital channels should relocate its different channels in the new frequencies, in order to vacating a band that will be used from 2015 by mobile phone companies. As coincides with the time change strings have an extra hour in reality for the move, the purpose of the user, starting at 06.00 am on Sunday, can begin to re-tune the new channels on their TVs.
Who have to retune the TV and when?
All users have to retune your TV channels, regardless of or not it has to adapt its antenna. To do so they have to run from 26 October to 31 December 2014.
Are there blackout channels
not until 1 January 2015 and is most broadcasters who move Sunday issued until that date a double signal ( simulcast ), one on their new frequency and other in the old frequency, so there will still all channels in both ubicacióones. Only some channels (commercial) could stop tuned in that period.
What channels change
The HD channels-including different chains Teledeporte RTVE- passing of the new multiplex (RGE1 and RGE2 for TVE; MPE1-4 for private operators of regional and MAUT), while his hollow come to occupy what its like in standard definition and other channels. For example, Mediaset relocates Telecinco HD, HD Four, Energy and Boing.
How retuned
In most TVs tuning is performed automatically. You just have to search the command “menu” button and select “Setup” or “Setup” (depending on model), and placed in the “find channels” or “auto channel tuning.” After a while, all channels will be listed and you just have to sort them according to the preferences of each user, and eliminate those that are not going to ever see. On older TVs search is not automatic and there you go locating one by one.
Please note that if after doing that process still appear the same channels in the same position it is more likely to be due to the community has not previously been called antenista to place the collective antenna.
Should I call antenista
If the building has more than three homes (usually equipped with a programmable control unit or a system of single-channel amplification) the property manager or the president of the homeowners should call an installer to prepare collective property antennas for receiving the new channels. Here are about 13 million households and 26 million people.
However, in houses (villas, houses, …), those receiving broadband, or buildings less than three homes with own antenna adaptation is not necessary, because the receiving system is ready to receive all frequencies, new and old, without the need for any adjustment. With just retune TVs.
How much does place the antenna and who pays?
The average cost to prepare the antenna is around 20 euros per housing (not per property), according to the National Federation of Telecommunications Installers and Integrators (FENITEL) although communities of owners can apply for the grant that enabled the Government, which varies depending on the type of antenna, and ranging from 100 to 550 euros. The grant must be ordered once you have made the changes in the antenna and begin to be paid from January 2015 Aid will electronically request by the homeowners (or the Administrator or authorized installer for it ) in the Online platform to be made available to communities to apply for grants. L installation company must be registered in the register of the Ministry of Telecommunications (SETSI) and must provide invoice. Leave it to the administrator.
